@SRamsayABA @Rehakyourlife good reminder, if you take on everything at once the quality of results most likely will decrease. baby steps

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife #TMWTDT as a BCBA it is important to remember not to use too much jargon, make sure your clients or caregivers can understand

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@jrgbsu @Rehakyourlife good reminder, if a Bx is automatically reinforced it is much more difficult to change!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife #TMWTDT what is the pay off? need to know what the behavior is trying to get or get out of!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@lizzdawsonn @Rehakyourlife yes! getting info from the people that surround the client is so beneficial, ultimately helping the client

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife #TMWTDT indirect and direct assessments are necessary for FBAs, have to get info from key people associated with the client!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@areisinger1 @Rehakyourlife totally agree, define the bx but always remember why that bx and what the overall goal is

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife #TMWTDT promoting autonomy is so important, keep the broader goals in mind as motivation for tough times!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@TheReal_JoAnne @Rehakyourlife so true, with nonverbal kids they could simply look at something they want and it's easy to miss!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife #TMWTDT "children have unique preferences"...I don't want to eat the same thing everyday so I can definitely relate to this!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@TheReal_JoAnne @Rehakyourlife so true! behaviors change, research gets updated, so important to stay up to date with it all to be effective

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife #TMWTDT the effort is always to teach new skills as replacement behaviors for the undesirable behavior, more functional!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@khalidcoleman5 @Rehakyourlife super important for generalization that these environments include teaching and natural environments #TMWTDT

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife #TMWTDT the things adults want change from moment to moment, this is also true in our students! always assess for motivation!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Nannie_AP @Rehakyourlife great idea! I also have a kiddo that does deep breaths with their dolls to cope with their frustrations #TMWTDT

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife #TMWTDT Being angry is not wrong, how do you handle that anger? So important to remember the positive ways to express anger!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@alex_elson2 @Rehakyourlife great idea to use this for fitness goals! I will have to try it too, as well as to reduce procrastination!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife #TMWTDT interesting idea of a self management plan to change our own behaviors, applying what we as BCBAs know to our lives!

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@TheReal_JoAnne @Rehakyourlife agreed! patience is so necessary in these situations, nothing worth changing can happen over night! #TMWTDT

[Felicia Dragon @fddragon18]

@Rehakyourlife "sibling peer pressure" is a positive tool to use at home to modify behavior...great idea I never thought of before! #TMWTDT
